Biography
Dr. Matthieu Poyade is the programme leader of the MSc Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy, a jointly taught degree with the University of Glasgow. He is also lecturer Medical Visualisation, and Human Computer Interaction and Extended Reality. He is a member of the Institute of Medical Illustrators, and the European Association for Extended Reality (EuroXR) where he has held executive roles for several years.
He completed his PhD in Human Computer Interaction at the University of Malaga, Spain. His PhD thesis investigated the development of fine motor skills using haptic force feedback devices for industrial maintenance tasks.
Before joining the School of Innovation and Technology at the Glasgow School of Art, he was working as Research Associate at the University of Malaga, Spain, in a major EU funded project, ManuVAR, which investigates the development of a methodological and technological framework including AR/VR, to support the product lifecycle of European industries.
His activities at the School of Innovation and Technology include several research projects in the field of Human Machine Interaction, Virtual Reality, Visualisation and Training applied to manufacturing and life sciences. He has been involved in several projects funded by the European Social Fund, Social Innovation Fund at the Scottish Government, Art and Humanities Research Council, Medical Research Council, Advanced Forming Research Centre, European Space Agency, National Health System Education Scotland.
He has presented his work in several journals and international conferences. Some of his developments have been demo in technological exhibition showcases such as Top Coder Open 2014 in San Francisco and Consumer Electronic Show CES2015 in Las Vegas.
